I am painting and have it on the brain right now.

In a hypothetical world where you have to repaint all the rooms in your house in a new colour - what colours are you choosing and why?

Second stipulation. No white, off white, beige, cream, grey, taupe, ecru, or any variations on that

Deep, rich purples and reds.

I'd prefer to keep to mostly neutrals with the odd feature wall, but if we're going whole hog and not allowing those I want my entire home to look like a seedy sex dungeon

Can beat a neutral though easier to build around. Without having to repaint when you want to change the themes

Hell yeah.

I'm sort of hoping my non-neutrals (pale green and lilac) create a peaceful ambience rather than get all seedy up in here. But I'm mostly going - a thread like this is boring if everyone picks magnolia.

Fucking caveat removing my colour scheme of choice. Darn it Op. Darn it.

So let's see. My house is Victorian, mid 1800s. High ceilings, big windows. With all the alcoves you'd expect. So living room; I'd probably go for a very rich dark green shade. Use accents of dark wood, via framed photos/certificates etc. Wooden floor, leather sofas. And a dark green chaise lounge.

Bathroom? Black and wood. Oh actually, as long as there's a freestanding copper tub, I don't mind. Black would work.

Kitchen... erm. Sorry but it has to be cream. It's already quite a sensory place, too many colours and I'd stim my way through cooking risotto.

Bedroom. I'm going full on courtesan boudoir experience. Lots of velvet, silk. Dark jewel colours. Perfect.

I absolutely get the logic of it. I'm just playing - if you can't choose a neutral, what would you do.

I've also had white walls for a long time - and at this stage would sooner burn my flat down than do neutrals

I think it'd depend on the room or your sensibilities. I've seen some coral paints I think might work - sort of pinky orange. A very pale yellow, sort of neutral plus, might be sunny rather than jarring.

My anxious arse can't handle that shit, hence my choices, but I can see it.

We've got a particular shade of green in one of our rooms that is so easy on the eye, gentle, fresh and relaxing that I'd have the main room in that. The study a shade of lilac and all the other rooms in either of those two except the bathrooms. One would be a grey and silver, the other gold and racing green.

Coral would be nice but i think its a very particular colour that will only really suit a few room types

So neon yellow or pink not going to make it to the walls

When I was young, my parents painted their formal lounge room in a striking blue colour. Sort of at the darker end of light blue, I don't know how to describe it otherwise. Set against white Chesterfields and mid tone wood. It wouldn't work in my space, but I'd do that in a different space.

I can't speak to wear, because my paint is recent, but I'm appreciating the application of Valspar Trade. It's also not that expensive per litre if you buy a 10L tin (and particularly on 3 for 2!)

I really like feature walls in otherwise neutral coloured rooms.

Purples and pine greens really stand out in such instances.

I also recently saw some white doors with the inner panels painted in a different colour which I thought looked really striking

My daughters painted the kitchen Teal.

Thought it would look nasty but I really like it

I saw a picture recently of a yellow kitchen with teal cabinets and white/ reddish (Moroccan?) splashback. It is so not my style but it was gorgeous.
